Jones, Howard - Everlasting Love Lyrics






He wasn't looking for a pretty face
She wasn't searching for the latest style
He didn't want someone who walked straight off the TV
She needed someone with an interior smile

She wasn't looking for a cuddle in the back seat
He wasn't looking for a five minute thrill
She wasn't thinking of tomorrow or of next week
This vacancy he meant to permanently fill

I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

Back in the world of disposable emotion
In the climate of temporary dreams
He wasn't looking for a notch on his bedpost
A love to push, pull and burst at the seams

I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

Is this love worth waiting for?
Something special, something pure

I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

Is this love worth waiting for?
Bitterness will die for sure
Something special, something pure
Is this love worth waiting for?

Is this love worth waiting for?
(I need an everlasting love)
Bitterness will die for sure
Something special, something pure
(I need a friend and a lover divine)
Is this love worth waiting for?

I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

    Does anyone know the name of the restaurant that appears on the music video?

  7. K.... A....

    I remember this song when I was young now hitting near 40 I did wait for it and gave it time. Now I'm in a fantastic relationship after going through so many bad relationships, a failed marriage I found a great guy that's treating me like a queen and we are talking about getting married down the road.

    K.... A....

    YAY! SO good for you and for him. #treatedlikeaqueen #marrieddowntheroad #waitforit #giveittime

  15. A.... G....

    Im getting ready to dip my toe back in the dating pool after a divorce from a 13 year marriage. I've been without anyone for almost a year. Better advice I don't think I could find. I don't need to have someone now. Wait for it. It will happen. Thanks Ho Jo...

    🙄💗his talent very much this song is still awesome today!😃

  20. M.... M....

    I like the video. I mean it's like a couple has been together, married, and in love since ancient Egypt, over 4000 years ago. Chokes me up, a bit, thinking about it. Over 4000 years, and they look so happy, in that video...

  21. t.... k....

    HOWARD JONES has never disapointed me with his music.

  22. c.... a....

    Very nice song,exelent age, 80,'s best music ever!!!

  23. m.... ....

    This hit from Howard Jones was the 617th #1 song on Billboard's Adult Contemporary charts.

  24. H.... L....

    The intro reminds me of Beggar's Game, by Dan Fogelberg. It's either the ambience of it or just the feel of it... have always admired Howard Jones👍

  25. C.... S....

    I love that line he wasn't looking for a pretty face
    And the cuddle in the backseat
    What in the hell, such few likes

  26. D.... S....

    First time I've ever seen this vid, great!

  27. B.... T....

    Super text😀

  28. v.... r....

    Spring 1989 Just Before Graduation..

  29. r.... ....

    Wonderful song 👍👍 80 music rocks ✅

  30. M.... L....

    Que lindo recuerdo los 80 lo mejor de lo mejoooooor ojalá tuviera una maquina del tiempo y ya estaría retrocediendo y volver a vivir esa infancia feliz en donde escuchábamos esta verdadera música

  31. W.... F....

    He was evolving, going for the mullet instead of his awesome early’80’s awesome spiky hair.

  32. F.... L....

    Excelente tema
    25 años sin oírlo

  33. S.... B....

    I like the song but the video sucks

  34. B.... S....

    Cheesy assed video, but I love the song I grew up with :)

  35. j.... ....

    Every time I view this song, is awesome. So much about the life we endure..

  36. C.... E....

    Like in the year only 2019...good vídeo.

    C.... E....

    This is such a great song! Been jamming out for 30 plus years to this lol

  37. S.... M....

    He's adorable 🥰

  38. C.... D....

    Howard's best song. Hands down!

  39. S.... o....

    So glad I grew up in the 80's. Miss real music like this. It had meaning.

  40. M.... M....

    Who in 2019???

  41. H.... ....

    The best songs are the 70's and 80's songs that sing and read like hymns. Least that's how I look at it. I found my twin flame in 1989 but met her in 85-86. It was probably more about Paula Abdul, Madonna, Bobby Brown and Prince for us back then.

  42. S.... F....

    MUMMIES AIN'T DUMMIES, MUMMIES NEED LOVE'N 2,

  43. P.... O....

    Septiembre 2019... 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

  44. E.... G....

    Conocí esta cancion gracias a VH1 classic, lastima que ya no exista ese canal en mi proveedor de cable

  45. E.... s....

    Yassss😍

  46. H.... H....

    I thought he said “ internet will die for sure”!!!
    But truly, what a fantastic song- I want an everlasting love too!!!

  47. X.... H....

    A modern videogame or TV show/movie needs to use this song so it brings it back. It doesn't deserve to be some forgotten obscure 80s song. I want Gen Z to know about it

  48. X.... H....

    Amazing underrated 80s bop, although the video quality looks like its from an actual 1989 camera lol. I'd think an official upload would be better

  49. C.... C....

    Si pudieramos volver esos tiempos .hermoso tema 😍😍😍😂😂😂

  50. H.... R....

    Beatiful sting

  51. o.... ....

    crazy video but the song is great

  52. J.... S....

    This song has such a fun vibe

  53. K.... G....

    When music was music

  54. L.... R....

    Since 1989

  55. p.... e....

    Sandra Calle Rangel, my everlasting love, I love You!!!

  56. d.... ....

    My favorite song that has a "round". Never get tired of it!

  57. K.... R....

    Muy buen tema excelente Howard Jones everlasting love lindo recuerdo de mi niñez Super temon

  58. j.... f....

    Why was this song never a bigger hit?. Crazy..

  59. C.... Z....

    I love this song so much and I think it's adorable how they used mummies that fell in love with each other. Talk about cute asf.

  60. B.... B....

    Should have been a huge UK hit - brilliant song.

  61. F.... N....

    Aún quien la escucha en el 2019?

  62. C.... P....

    The great sound of eighties, greetings from Chile !!!

  63. L.... G....

    1989♥♥♥ mis dulces 18 añitos.......30 años d este bello tema

  64. T.... ....

    Wasn't that great?! When a real artist could sing about real love, and that most precious of commodities, *time* (and therefore, patience), in a way that got through to people...at least some. This was music when it was still good.

  65. B.... T....

    So catchy!

  66. G.... P....

    L amore è immortale lascia un segno buono nel mondo anche il male. Fa la stessa cosa ma è meglio fare prevalere il bene sempre perché il male non costruisce nulla di buono solo l amore crea felicità ok ok ciao Howard Jones grazie ti amo sempre 2019. 26 maggio ❤️🏃‍♂️🌸🌞🌈💐💋💋💋

  67. J.... R....

    Interestingly, this song did much better in the US than in the UK. Very odd for a song by a Brit.

  68. J.... R....

    Nice video where those mummies who love each other are having thew time of their lives. I love it !!!

  69. E.... M....

    Tanto tiempo buscándola, y al fin la encontré :).

  70. D.... J....

    gives a total wrong impression it looked totally fine on tv back then

  71. m.... m....

    "This vacancy he meant to permanently fill" 💞

  72. T.... ....

    "Wait for it. Wait for it! Give it some time!"
    Lesson: If you are not a patient person this is not your song.

  73. R.... d....

    Wonderfull Song 🌸🕊️

  74. T.... K....

    THIS VIDEO MEANS PEOPLE MIGHT SEE US AS STRANG OR DIFFERENT BUT TO US WE ARE IN LOVE AND WE DONT SEE ANYONE AROUND US.
    AND WE DONT CARE WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT OUR LOVE
    IF NO PICKED UP ON THAT THEN YOU DONT UNDERSTAND

  75. T.... K....

    This video always makes me cry just because I get it and I know what it means and the video is way more deep then the song is saying

  76. J.... M....

    726,178 XO

  77. J.... M....

    725,095 XO

  78. c.... ....

    I have memories of hearing this so many times in the 80's. Not a big fan of the video though. Thanks.

  79. C.... B....

    Another classic 80s song

  80. F.... C....

    UN TEMA INOLVIDABLE!...

    F.... C....

    Desde soacha!!

  86. P.... M....

    Hey HoJo... It’s time to up a higher-quality version of this! 9 year old youtubes didn’t age well, 😆
    (this song, however, did!)

  87. b.... ....

    Having a hard time grasping this is 30 years old now. Holy hell. I was 15 when it was released.

  88. T.... B....

    Another classic ‘’80s luxurious bridge

  89. I.... E....

    Coincidences?... Every song by Howard... Amazing 😯🎤❤️

  90. s.... ....

    They play this on the in-store music at my job, never knew it was Howard Jones.

  91. T.... ....

    This song is everlasting song, it deserves to enter back on the charts and go into the top ten. The world needs to ask themseles what everlasting love really is.

  92. j.... ....

    Reminds me of District 9 aliens. Takes away from the video . Great song though!!

  93. P.... J....

    One of the best songs of the 80s!! Awesome song!! Howard Jones helluva voice!!

  94. J.... B....
